International friendly games are not worth the lives of the silk worms who perish to make the pennants. They do not even have the philanthropic excuse that softens the otherwise unendurable tedium of testimonial matches. Quite simply, they are rotten games staged to pick the public’s pocket, tiresome red tape left over from an era when nations and players were still insular and therefore curious about each other’s potential Picture Quote #1

Is he prepared to support, at his own expense, projects and undertakings designed to help the needy? Is he prepared to pay higher taxes so that public authorities may expand their efforts in the work of development? Is he prepared to pay more for imported goods, so that the foreign producer may make a fairer profit? Is he prepared to emigrate from his homeland if necessary and if he is young, in order to help the emerging nations? Picture Quote #1

Europe’s nations should be guided towards the superstate without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation Picture Quote #1

When you talk about the oil wealth you compare nations. There are some nations with less than five million people. Nigeria has 150 million people.

When nations behave immorally, patriots need not support them Picture Quote #1

The greatest contributor to the feeling of tension and fear of war arose from the power of the bombing aeroplane. If all nations would consent to abolish air bombardment... that would mean the greatest possible release from fear Picture Quote #1

The indefinite combination of human fallibility and nuclear weapons will lead to the destruction of nations Picture Quote #1
